The Closer Weekly: A back to the future moment for Netflix

Alongside the release of Netflix's quarterly earnings, the streaming service announced two big pieces of news this week. One, that it would be ending its DVD mailing business, and two, that it would be delaying a crackdown on password sharing in the US.
